''Thieves' World'' is a dark urban fantasy SharedUniverse created by Creator/RobertAsprin in 1978 and mostly focused on the city of Sanctuary. It drew in authors like Creator/PoulAnderson, Creator/JohnBrunner, Creator/AndrewJOffutt, Creator/CJCherryh, Creator/JanetMorris and Creator/MarionZimmerBradley to contribute, and generated a buttload of books (12 short story compilations, 8 official novels, some graphic novel adaptations of the compilations and roleplaying adaptations from the likes of Chaosium and FASA) before it went on hiatus in 1989.

It drew in authors like Creator/PoulAnderson, Creator/JohnBrunner, Creator/AndrewJOffutt, Creator/CJCherryh, Creator/JanetMorris and Creator/MarionZimmerBradley (with the first ''Literature/{{Lythande}}'' story) to contribute, and generated a buttload of books (12 short story compilations, 8 official novels, some graphic novel adaptations of the compilations and roleplaying adaptations from the likes of Chaosium and FASA) before it went on hiatus in 1989.

Reason: Lythande has a page now, so I figured it should be linked here.

* AdjectiveAnimalAlehouse: The city of Sanctuary has the Vulgar Unicorn and Golden Lizard taverns. Several vague descriptions of the Vulgar Unicorn's sign are given, including "...that animal improbably engaging itself" and similar.* TheArchmage: Hazard Hazard-class mages.

Then in 2002 Creator/LynnAbbey published a new novel in the universe, ''Sanctuary'' which re-started the series several decades later. Two additional anthologies were published, as well as D20 books from GreenRonin.
